This is the most boring game ever.. what a waste of $1.99..

[yuppicide]

Definitely not worth the $1.99 it's on sale for. Even free is paying too much. I was unaware this isn't a game and is more of a walking simulator, but to be fair it does say in the user-defined tags walking simulator. Oops my fault.

If I wanted a story I'd go watch TV. I feel like I shouldn't even have to press forward. Why even have a jump button.

FFS, it's not as if this was some obscure game from an Iranian publisher. ddg.gg Firewatch or look it up on a video platform, and you know what it's about, you can get both the whole story and a spoler-free abstract.

Even that the ending may not be what you expect has been discussed very broadly.

I no longer would have paid €20,- for it, but on sale under €5,- it was a no-brainer for me. If I didn't like what I saw in the discussions, it'd also have been a no-brainer not to buy it.

Just get a refund and be done with it.

If you don't want a story, why play a narrative walking simulator? Just refund the game and play a game in the genre(s) you actually enjoy.

at least we're not out here buying med beds....

I agree with op. As a "game" this fails miserably. As a story its decent. But personally a good story doesn't save a walking simulation for me.

You have to jump around obstacles. You also have to navigate the world yourself

Thanks for your thoughts op.

The point of this writing was to make us laugh about you, I guess. According to your writing, you stand pretty stupid here... It's not your fault, though. Not that you had a choice... 😅

2016 was the hype of walking simulator with long-winded dialogue.

And this ladies, gentlemen and others is why you watch the trailer for a video game before buying it. Seems like they didn't even know what they were purchasing.

I don't mind the walking I just think it is weird they make you play as an old man who is an alcoholic and when he went to the lookout he was so tired after such a long hike but some drunk teenage girls are just there being naked in the lake

Yeah, I did find it weird that they had gone so deep into the woods for that...

I didn't really know what I was buying but it was only £2 so gave it a go. Nice little story but there's no real challenge or anything to figure out. You can even skip most of the dialogue of radioing in every thing you find.

I thought that might have some consequence of not giving information to whoever was listening... but no... the story just plodded on, much like me around the forest.

Without the excellent voice actors, I would say "don't bother". They make it a "meh, nice enough story".

I purchased this because I remember good reviews about it years ago, the current reviews are very positive and it was only $1.99, what could go wrong? Walk, click, press space bar. If you want a no stress game this is it. If you want something with meaning, a story that pulls you along, then go elsewhere. A story is everything, especially in a non-action game like this. The truth is it's slow and boring. I don't even care to finish the game. I'd rather read a good book. Alas, I gave a donation to the devs; at least someone is happy.

I like walking simulators but damn im bad with following directions. I always find myself lost in the woods
